The Prince Theater is an exciting performance venue in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. Boasting the largest screen in the city, the Prince Theater is owned and operated by the Philadelphia Film Society, a 501(c)(3) member supported not-for-profit arts organization. Located at Broad and Chestnut Streets on the Avenue of the Arts, the Prince Theater hosts film and live events in two state-of-the-art theaters.
Since its founding in 1984 as the American Music Theater Festival, our mission at the Prince Music Theater has been to present and cultivate an exceptional range of high-quality performing arts, film, and other programs that engage, entertain, and educate diverse audiences. Since 1999 the Prince Music Theater has sparkled as a state-of-the-art theater, located at Broad & Chestnut in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, offering live performance and film events in two performance spaces.
__notoc__The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The steel-framed building - one of the first to be constructed - was built from 1893 to 1895, and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux-Arts style. Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta were all used in the facade. After the building's sale in 1979 and subsequent renovation, the internal area was approximately 286,000 square feet., the building is owned by Kaiserman Company.HistoryUpon his return from a European trip in 1890, Bartol organized the Philadelphia business community. He asked each new member to pledge $1,000 to the project. The Bourse motto was "Buy, Sell, Ship via Philadelphia."The Bourse stopped functioning as a commodities exchange in the 1960s. The structure continued to serve as an office building until 1979, when it was sold and renovated to include upscale retail space on floors near the street level. The upper levels of the building continued to house office space. A movie theater specializing in independent films, The Ritz at the Bourse, sits across the street at 4th and Ranstead streets.
RITZ AT THE BOURSE 5 Screens. This “Old City” theatre was opened by Ritz Theatre founder Ramon L. Posel in 1990. Ownership transferred to Landmark Theatres in March 2007. After over 22 years of operation, the theatre is still going strong. RITZ EAST 2 Screens. The Ritz East theatre was opened by Ritz Theatres founder Ramon L. Posel in 1999. RITZ 5 5 Screens. Founded by Ramon L. Posel as a three screen theatre in 1976, then converted to five screen in 1985, this classic theatre was one of the first to bring arthouse films to Philadelphia. On the back of each ticket was an uncredited quote — “People used to go to the movies as they now watch television — not to see something but to see anything. We’re trying to select... features for those who want to see something.” In 1992, the Ritz Five premiered Philadelphia-area native M. Night Shyamalan debut feature-length film Praying with Anger. Ownership transferred to Landmark Theatres in March 2007. After over 36 years of operation, the theatre is still going strong, never wavering from its founder’s original mission to give Philadelphia residents an opportunity to see the best in independent, foreign, and documentary film.
PFS operates the Roxy as a first-run theater, with an emphasis on independent films, many of which presently cannot be seen theatrically in Philadelphia. The PFS Roxy Theater programs an array of highly anticipated new films along with repertory cinema not widely available in the city. In addition, the PFS Roxy offers educational programs focused on film and filmmakers, designed for students of any age. The PFS Roxy Theater has undergone major renovations. The building required significant structural repair which afforded the opportunity to make changes to create the best possible movie going experience in the space. The first round of renovations consisted of adding new seating, new floors, new digital projection in both theaters and an additional 35MM reel to reel projection system in one theater, new screens, and a new sound system, and washrooms. We are very pleased to also have made the Roxy ADA accessible.

Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts is ranked highly as a must visit venue that offers America’s original art form jazz on a regular basis. Founded in 1966 by James Adams and members of an African American musicians union Local #274, membership included Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sara Vaughn, Sonny Stitt, Art Blakey, Dinah Washington, Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Shirley Scott, “Philly” Joe Jones, Tootie Heath, Jimmy Heath, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Grover Washington, Jr., and Nina Simone among others were in attendance. The Music Education Programs began in 1985 as the Clef Club members began to recognize a decline in new and available Philadelphia jazz talent. Member-driven outreach initially included local musicians who volunteered their time and energy to teach jazz to local youth who were interested. By 1988 the Clef Club received a seed grant that helped to establish the initial Jazz Education efforts. It moved to its present facility, a new four-story building on the Avenue of the Arts, in 1995. The Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts located at Broad and Fitzwater Streets, was the first new building in the city’s ambitious Avenue of the Arts development project. The new three-story building, houses a cabaret and performance space, archives, classrooms and rehearsal rooms. The William Penn Foundation was the first investor that made it possible for the Clef Club to be located on South Broad Street by providing operating and capital support. Over the years, the Clef Club was a Lila Wallace Readers Digest National Jazz Network Site and presented a spring and fall season of jazz performances, workshops and residencies. The Clef Club hosted several distinguished Artists-in-Residence during its history including Bassist Larry Ridley, Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation “Living Legacy Awardee,” saxophonist Oliver Lake, saxophonist Makonde McIntyre and jazz hip-hop workshops, all through The Coltrane Project. Today, musicians such as Christian McBride, Joey Defrancisco, James Carter, George Burton, Sherry Wilson Butler, Monnette Sudler, Molyka Sanofa, Billy Paul, Bernard Purdie, Lou Cioci & Buddy Cifone, Larry McKenna, Brian Pasto, Ellen Gahnt, Tony Vicola, Michael Andrews and Roots of Music present concerts at the Clef Club. Today, the Clef Club is part of Berklee School of Music’s Berklee City Music Network, utilizing a proprietary curriculum called the Berklee PULSE music method that is centered around present day music styles, the instruments that youth tend to select, and the incorporation of essential theoretic, listening, improvisational and performance skills. It is through the education program and our performance ensemble and presenting program that we preserve the legacy and insure the future of this great American music. The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts mission is to celebrate and preserve the legacy of jazz through education and to support the evolving form through public programs.

Connie's Ric Rac is not a bar with a stage. we are a venue......that serves drinks. what we are Connie's Ric Rac is an event venue located on The 9th Street Italian Market in South Philadelphia, presenting local and regional music, comedy and performing arts. The Ric Rac has been a mainstay in the Philly scene since it's inception in 2006. It's underground, DIY atmosphere has drawn the likes of prominent Philadelphia artists such as Amos Lee, Joe Jack Talcum (Dead Milkmen), Black Landlord, as well as national act comedians Matt Besser (Upright Citizens Brigade), Ali Faranakian (Pit Theatre, NYC) and the quickly rising Chris Gethard. why we are here It's simple - we love music, art and comedy. We're proud to play host to a variety of forms of entertainment, whether it be a burlesque circus show, punk rock karaoke, or a night of acoustic singer songwriters. Our main product is on the stage, not in our refrigerators. On any given night you can catch the hottest emerging artists in the Philly music and comedy scene. We are also known for presenting events such as Johnny Showcase & The Left Lucy Cabaret, Dead Flowers' Smoking Gun Revue and genre specific showcases. how we got here Back in the day, Connie's Ric Rac was a shop owned by Connie Tartaglia with a variety of curious objects; really more of a "bric-a-brac". Her and husband Joe "Joe Brown" Tartaglia were Italian Market lifers who always had a fine appreciation for the arts, which were passed down along to their two sons, Joe Brown, Jr., and Frankie. With the explosion of the internet and companies like eBay in the late 90's, Connie sold out her entire inventory by the early 2000s. The building sat vacant for a while, and there were plans for a laundromat...... "The windows and doors were all boarded shut And the storekeepers had closed their shops up There wasn't anyone left around Except for these guys Who had guitars, and they had drums And other instruments of wondrous sound" Plans for the laundromat were thwarted by Joe Jr. and Frank when, along with childhood friend Pete Pelullo (who is in the construction business), built a stage, a bar, and with that Connie's Ric Rac was reborn. At the time, Frankie had just moved back to South Philly after living for several years in New York City's Lower East Side. While working at Alltrue.com, he met and formed an acoustic folk rock duo with colleague Rob Ogus. They splashed on to an emerging Philadelphia acoustic singer songwriter scene and quickly made a name for themselves. Even though the initially opened as a BYOB (and in great part contributing to it's awesome vibe), The Ric Rac became "the spot" to many of the areas up and coming musical artists. Many enjoyed late night jam sessions at Connie's, escorted back by Frank and Joe after Discount Heroes shows and open mic performances. Frankie had also been performing comedy throughout the years, and many of his joke-making and sketch-performing cohorts also began called Connie's home. High profile national acts such as Hannibal Burress (SNL, 30 Rock), and Toddy Barry (Comedy Central, Flight of The Conchords) put the Ric Rac on the comedy map, and has hosted troupes such as Philly Improv Theatre (PHIT), The Sixth Borough (to which Frankie was a founding member), Bedtime Stories (Gregg Gethard, Chris' brother!) and Ministry of Secret Jokes (Doogie Horner). After operating for 4 years as a BYOB, The Ric Rac expanded it's capacity and began serving bottled beer, wine and spirits. To this day, we continually strive to provide the best and most enjoyable experience to everyone who comes through our doors, including performers, guests, VIPs and staff. Plans for a kitchen next door are presently being executed and the opening is scheduled for early 2014.
Connie's Ric Rac's Wednesday night open mic is becoming the preeminent spot for local musicians to congregate. Jamming, drinking and having fun is led each week by our illustrious rotating hosts: Every Heard (1st Wednesdays), Kelvin Cochrane (2nd Wednesdays), Rev, TJ McGlinchey (3rd Wednesdays) and Andrew Napoli (4th Wednesdays).

This distinguishes Boot and Saddle as one of the only small-size room in US to boast this critically acclaimed soundsystem, guaranteeing the best experience for show-goers. With all of these innovations and improvements, some elements of the old Boot and Saddle will still inform its new look.
